This stuff definitely works when used to clear up my blocked sinuses (made worse by living with a smoker!!). I tried it because I read about its use in hospitals to clear uo blocked lungs and mucus generally, and it might protect against the effects of smoke. So I thought it might work on my nasal passages too. I get an unblocked nose and my sense of smell and taste back again. So basically it works for me for that particular problem. Takes a couple of days. I don't like taking anything all the time so I have breaks - and then take it when needed. It can deplete zinc and copper so taking a multivitamin makes sense.Goes Well With:B2, Vitamin C

Good quality product at a good price, quickly delivered and I recommend this company as I have always had good products from them and received orders asap. It tastes horrible as it should - I put it in capsules and enjoy the benefits of this excellent supplement without having to taste it - smells like bad eggs. I find that NAC is very good for my lung problems, clears up too much thick mucus and seems to protect me from colds, flu and lung infections. Also good to take if you have to take paracetamol as it protects the liver from damage.

Great

This is now an essential item in my cupboard. I drink far too much alcohol. I know it's harmful and addictive and it doesn't help my training at all. I heard this was good to aid liver detox and gave it a try a year or so ago. Now I use it everytime I have more than 2 drinks in 2hrs. 1 mini scoop after 2-4 drinks, 1 mini scoop after the session. If it's a big afternoon session like a wedding, I'll take 1 mini scoop somewhere in the middle.
NAC dissolves easily in warm water and slowly in cold water. It adds an acidic, lemon juicey flavour. So I liek to add it to drinks that are far too sweet for my taste, where it helps to balance them out. A favourite is 2 mini scoop NAC in one can of the flavoured red bull drinks, diluted 2:1 or more with fizzy water. That makes what would be an unpleasantly sweet drink into something more like the lime/blueberry/tropical fruit drink it is imitating.
NAC doesn't alter how you get affected by alcohol. NAC does NOT allow you to drink and drive, or be any more competent, sensible or charming while under the influence. It does (for me at least) markedly reduce a hangover, if you also drink plenty of water. Nothing makes you hangover proof, but the difference with NAC is so great, for me it's the difference between being at least half-useful the following day, or writing it off.
Please drink responsibly! If you choose not to, I recommend that you try NAC.
Goes Well With:Milk thistle + ALCAR + red bull + lots of water

It's hard to say if N Acetyl L Cysteine has been effective as it is purely used as an antioxidant. Be prepared for a very acidic taste, I use it with dispersible Vitamin C tablets for extra effect and improved taste.

Yeah the smell is bad and taste is not good either but mixing it in strong tea makes it OK.
I use it whenever under stress and if I feel like I might get sick, I take several doses a day. Seems to work as I had several times I felt I might get sick, took a lot of cystine and was OK the next day.Goes Well With:other antioxydants

NAC and liver damage

Overall:

There is some disagreement over the liver damage/protection properties of NAC in the reviews here. NAC is the preferred treatment for paracetamol overdose and will protect your liver, except from when you have consumed alcohol and is still intoxicated. The research I have come across concludes that NAC will contribute to liver damage when you are in the state mentioned. But a great product by any means.

Excellent stuff!!!
